Can I use this for non-coding tasks?

Yes, it is a general-purpose task manager that supports various types including bugs, features, stories, and chores, making it suitable for any project management needs.

What output formats are supported for integration?

The tool supports EDN for Clojure environments, JSON for standard programmatic integration, and a tabular 'human' format for direct terminal reading.

How does the CLI find my project configuration?

The CLI automatically searches for a .mcp-tasks.edn file starting from your current directory and traversing up the directory tree until it finds the root.

When should I use the CLI instead of the MCP server?

Use the CLI for shell scripting, batch operations, and CI/CD pipelines. Use the MCP server for agent-driven interactive workflows and git-integrated development.
